Tudor Baby Camellia

Camellia japonica 'Tudor Baby' is a Japanese camellia cultivar grown as an upright, vigorous evergreen shrub. It is noted for masses of rich dark red double flowers with darker, almost black-edged petals and visible buttery yellow stamens, blooming from late winter to early spring. The plant has glossy, dark green, pointed evergreen foliage and an upright spreading habit, typically reaching about 8 feet tall and 5 feet wide. It is valued as an ornamental accent, hedge, screen, or container plant and performs best in moist, well-drained, acidic soil in partial shade to shade.
